Over the years i ve had several bed frames angle iron given to me to use in projects.
Welded metal bed frame.
It s hard to cut or drill and it doesn t seem to weld worth a flip either.
I defy anyone to tell where i got it.
Of course all the welds appeared to be done with a harbor freight flux core welder.
See more ideas about metal beds furniture steel furniture.
I was quoted a price of 10 per frame but one frame should have just shy of 20ft of brown powdercoated angle iron.
Yep that and certain grades of rebar that don t weld well.
As a hobby welder i use metal from whatever source.
I had to peel a bunch of bed frame off a semitrailer that was being used as pallet stops really brittle and springy when you could grab it with a big adjustable wrench it snapped of the welds clean.
Weld the top bed frame metal into a rectangle with the shelf edge facing inside the frame like a big metal bowl.
I ve always had bad experience with the stuff.
Is there something unique to the material that makes it unsuitable for fabrication or something other than bed frames.
